augustreed: The Mexican Repatriation occurred during the 1930’s as a result of depression-related unemployed. This little known event ranks in magnitude with the Japanese-American Internment and Native American Genocide. Many forced to leave were, in fact, American citizens—some by naturalization and some by birth. Photography by Dan MacMedan as part of a 2006 USA TODAY article on repatriation and the then current government’s obligation to formally acknowledge it. It features Mexican children in Montana before deportation.

This blog was designed by Dustin Hoffman, and it's powered by Tumblr!

Basically a blog dealing with racial issues, mostly in America but with some posts about other countries as well. While there will be many posts dealing with the black/white binary, I also hope to shed much focus on race issues concerning First Peoples, Latinos, Middle Easterners, South Asians, East Asians, Southeast Asians, people who are bi or multiracial, and any other minority groups I may have forgotten to mention.
